shandypants Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I think we pay enough already. We shouldn’t have allowed Carlos to p155 away large parts of our budget on deadwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Only if the Agents were comletely cleared out of the club as these are an unnecessary drain on resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, pay more and get over the line, or stick with the current pricing (which is still high) and fall away? i try to be fair here, and say i thought the money the club spent on transfer fees and wages , was somewhat different from what i'd have done with it, or liked to have done with it. we chose to 'splash the cash', and now we must pay for it. i feel sorry for dc as i think he entered into this somewhat blinkerd, and expected help from those around him, but we ended up jumping in with both feet, and, at present we're here, in a couple of months it might be very interesting as to where we are.

If it was that clear cut I would pay an extra fiver , occasionally !! . We pay far too much already , I’m convinced this is why the attendances aren’t in the high 20,s to low 30’s .

F. Spiksley Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 No. Down to the owner and exec team to deal with it. We pay top dollar for stuff as it is, fans doing their bit already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 thinking about it more, 'carlos didn't build a football team' he bought one, then bought another one to sit and watch it play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In almost all cases, the copy is illegal. If it's not a deliberate copyright infringement, and an obvious different brand that just imitates without infringement, that's fine. I do think that SWFC as a brand should throw some weight behind copyright infringements. It sounds harsh, but if I can't afford to buy my lad the latest iPad, he doesn't get it. The same should apply to to SWFC merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Not a chance. Football (not just at SWFC) costs far too much already imo when you take into account ticket prices, cost of replica kits etc. Some families are being priced out of going nowadays and it's becoming less and less the working man's game imo. Barring one or two players, our recent (last year or two) record in the transfer market is hardly inspiring, and I certainly won't be coughing up extra to satisfy the ***** joke that is FFP.
